Description
The Avanos 0270-18-2.0-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This configuration is designed for patients with a standard stoma depth who require the maximum available internal tube length to ensure feeding occurs deep within the small intestine.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 18 Fr diameter, a 2.0 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster includes two distinct ports:
JEJUNAL Port: Specifically for delivering nutrition into the small intestine.
GASTRIC Port: Used for venting, decompressing the stomach, or administering medications.
Standard Stoma Fit: The 2.0 cm stoma length is a "universal" size for many adults, providing a secure fit for an average-thickness abdominal wall without being too tight or too loose.
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm internal tube is the longest standard size available. This length is critical for taller patients or those where the tube tip must sit further down the intestinal tract to prevent it from "flipping" back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Bolster: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet under clothing and minimizing the risk of accidental removal or snagging.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to verify the tube’s position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone for biocompatibility, flexibility, and durability.

Primary Indications
Severe Gastroparesis: When the stomach cannot move food effectively, requiring nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely.
High Aspiration Risk: For patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to the high risk of inhaling stomach contents into the lungs.
Post-Pyloric Feeding: When delivery of nutrients must happen beyond the stomach to ensure proper absorption and patient safety.
